Jurists are now pondering new ways to restrain unruly defendants without violating their constitutional rights. Judge Murtagh's approach is simple but still may prove ineffective. Like Judge Hoffman in Chicago, Murtagh believes that the defendants will eventually play by the rules if they are punished enough. But the Panthers may well choose to remain in jail while they petition the federal courts for release on constitutional grounds. At the same time, lengthy incarceration will enhance their image as martyrs to judicial prejudice. That image is already well formed; twelve of the 13 have been in jail since last...
...Houston, Akron or Miami? The idea violates all the tenets of local boosterism. A tremendous amount of entrepreneurial effort is harnessed to the expectation of an ever-expanding population, with more customers for business.

They see him as a reluctant leader who nurses a nostalgia for the private life he has left behind. "I should be doing all the things young men of my age are doing," he once said. "Instead, here I am in this prison. Honestly, this is a prison." The leadership of his stricken country was thrust upon him suddenly, almost by accident, in July 1966. He was chosen...
...ourselves and to the U.N. and all that it could stand for. For this to come to pass, we can not speak henceforth of what may be honorable but rather of what may be just. For something positive to come out of this mutual agony; can we not restrain all speech about defeat or victory, except it be the victory of a people healed by its own stripes, by chastisement made whole...
